This is how the tour through Munich works
We are not a classic city tour in Berlin. We do not stand in the middle of crowds. We go where you have the perfect motif. Guided by a professional photographer who will give you tips & tricks to improve your photography skills
Marienplatz: Our meeting point is Marienplatz, the heart of Munich with the impressive New Town Hall. Perfect for architectural and street scene photography, especially in the morning and evening.
Frauenkirche: From there you continue to the Frauenkirche, known for its striking twin towers. The Gothic architecture offers great opportunities for dramatic shots and perspective plays.
Viktualienmarkt: The next stop is the Viktualienmarkt, a lively market with colorful stalls. Close-ups of food and market scenes are ideal here.
Alter Peter (St. Peter’s Church): We then visit Alter Peter, a church with an observation tower and a great view over Munich. Panoramic shots from above are a must.
New Town Hall (inner courtyard): The inner courtyard of the New Town Hall offers impressive photo opportunities. Here you can play with light and shadow to create interesting compositions.
Hofbräuhaus: Continue to the Hofbräuhaus, a famous beer hall with a traditional Bavarian atmosphere. Interior shots of the historic hall and detailed shots of the furnishings are ideal here.
- Munich Residence: The former royal residence offers impressive architecture. Photograph the Hofgarten and the facades.
Marienplatz: Finally, we return to Marienplatz, where we end the tour.
